Unsolicited collocated interference reporting and physical layer parameter control for in-device coexistence

A device, comprising:

• at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• determine one or more interference characteristics from one or more collocated in-device components associated with one or more collocated communications standards;
• encode an information element with information associated with the one or more interference characteristics;
• and
• cause to send a frame comprising the information element to an access point.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:

• determining one or more interference characteristics from one or more collocated in
• device components associated with one or more collocated communications standards;
• encoding an information element with information associated with the one or more interference characteristics;
• and
• causing to send a frame comprising the information element to an access point.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by an access point, a frame comprising an information element from a user device, the information element comprising information associated with one or more interference characteristics, the one or more interference characteristics associated with one or more collocated communications standards;
• decoding the information element;
• adjusting one or more of a scheduling data and modulation and coding scheme data for the user device;
• encoding a frame with the adjusted one or more of the scheduling data and the modulation and coding scheme data;
• and
• causing to send the encoded frame to the user device.
